Biographie de Tim Kazurinsky

Timothy J. Kazurinsky (born March 3, 1950) is an American actor, comedian and writer best remembered as a cast member on Saturday Night Live and for his role as "Sweetchuck" in the Police Academy films. He is typically known for playing characters who are mousey and sheepish pipsqueak types. Kazurinsky was born in Pennsylvania, but spent most of his childhood in Australia, where he lived until the age of 16. Kazurinsky first began working in St. Louis, Missouri as an advertising executive and copywriter for a department store chain. He later moved to Chicago to start a comedy career and joined the Second City mainstage in 1978. He was eventually discovered by Saturday Night Live and was hired to join SNL as a writer and a cast member, after a producer at SNL, who was also a personal friend, bumped Paul Reubens, who had been slated to begin work on SNL that season, from the line up. Kazurinsky was cast in Reubens' place in 1981. On Saturday Night Live, Kazurinsky quickly won over fans with his memorable characters and celebrity impressions, though there were reports that he often clashed with then-executive producer Dick Ebersol about the show's creative direction, Kazurinsky often felt the show's writing was weak. In 1984, he decided to leave SNL because of creative differences with the producers. Tim was cast in a bit part for the 1980 movie Somewhere in Time as the photographer that takes the famous 'Elise' portrait that woos Richard Collier back in time. Soon after he left SNL he co-wrote About Last Night and played the role of Sweetchuck in three of the Police Academy films. Kazurinsky appeared on the season six Married...with Children episode "God's Shoes" as "God", who gives Al Bundy the idea to create "God's Shoes" when Al has a near-death experience. When the idea ultimately fails, it is revealed that he is merely an angel impersonating God, and that he was murdered by his own family when he lost their fortune on the original God's Shoe idea in the 1920s. In the 2000s, Kazurinsky guest starred on popular TV shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm and According to Jim. Kazurinsky also writes screenplays and television episodes. His most significant work is the 2001 film My Beautiful Son, starring Paul Reiser, Julie Walters, and Olympia Dukakis.
